About MySQL
MySQL is a relational database management system (RDBMS) designed to help businesses record, update, and manage data and deploy cloud-native applications. Features include data masking and de-identification, multi-document transaction support, intrusion detection, alerts, and configuration management.
The application provides tools to automate administrative tasks such as data provisioning, backup, patching, and tuning. Engineers can protect confidential data by using encryption, key generation, and digital signatures. Administrators can also monitor user and application-level performance and resource consumption of the database via performance schema.
MySQL Enterprise Firewall helps database administrators protect information through real-time threat monitoring, whitelisting, and SQL statement blocking features. The Query Analyzer lets engineers view query activities, identify problematic queries through full table scans and bad index searches, and evaluate multiple executions during a specific time period.
Developers can use MySQL Workbench to perform database modeling, query development and testing, server configuration, audit data inspection, and database migrations. MySQL allows team members to recover data by utilizing backward compatible full recovery, precise one-click, point-in-time, and partial recovery capabilities.

I've used MySQL for over 20 years on personal websites serving tiny amounts of traffic, through to mission-critical enterprise websites. I've never had any issues except finding out the hard way that tables can crash and if you have no monitoring you won't know about it. It's a great all-round database.
Pros
MySQL is a great all round database, packed with features that suit hobbyists, SMEs and large enterprises. It's easy to set up and start working with out of the box and is also highly customisable.
Cons
It's difficult to find a con. Historically MySQL has lacked some of the features of large enterprise databases but these have gradually been developed.

To get started in application development, I highly recommend it for its ease of use and how effective it can be for handling data on a small scale.
Of course, MYSQL has to be just a step to later migrate to systems that better manage data on a large scale, such as SQL Server or Oracle.
Pros
Mysql is a good tool to start in the world of software development. It offers a small but powerful product, with effective database management when it comes to bringing us useful information for the business. With a few command lines we can get all the information we need, and its installation and first use is fast and intuitive.
Cons
Although MYSQL works well for small and medium projects, in large-scale projects we can suffer a bit with information and data management, since this tool is not entirely designed to handle large-volume data.
It can handle data in large volume, but the way in which it will do it will not be the most efficient or the most optimal, which can cause a certain lack of speed when deploying our project.
Reasons for Switching to MySQL
The ease of use of Mysql made me decide on this specific product in the end.
